One Venerable, Three Saints, Seven Supremes

Li Hao carefully sensed it and discovered that what was being transformed was not his physical body, but the Physical Body Saint Dao within it!

His physical body had already reached the Terminal Realm. He had already reached the end of the Dao Law Realm. The reason why his Physical Body Sainthood underwent such a great change after becoming a saint was that the power of the Sacred Dao was born from his physical body and contained in the thousands of pores of his body.

This transformation is a result of the Sacred Dao, which causes the physical body to appear to have transformed.

If one were to experience further Earth Tribulation and Heaven Tribulation, the Sacred Dao would be further refined and elevated, making the physical body even more terrifying.

"The Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon, born of Heaven and Earth and Sacred Dao Emperor Weapon, can no longer harm me..."

Li Hao's eyes gleamed. At this moment, even Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon could only scratch his physical body and would also be damaged itself. It was like two swords of equal strength slashing each other, both of which would be damaged!

Killing him risks damaging our own Emperor Weapon!

At this moment, the Ancient Desolate Sky Feather transformed into a stream of light and flew back into the hand of the Primal Chaos Saint. Its brilliant light diminished, seemingly dissipating considerably. After landing in his palm, the Primal Chaos Saint merely glanced at it before putting it away, then indifferently looked down at Li Hao:

"Since you have been able to bear this calamity, you are hereby granted a place in the Saint Seat."

Having said that, his figure disappeared into the Great Dao mist, seemingly no longer paying attention.

Li Hao looked up and stared intently, his brows furrowing. Although the other party had made a move, he couldn't sense any killing intent; it seemed they really just wanted to teach him a lesson.

But he sensed something was amiss. This Primal Chaos Saint's actions not only failed to harm him, but actually helped him successfully overcome the tribulation. Moreover, this tribulation was extremely powerful, with the intervention of Supreme Saint and the use of Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon as the tribulation. After overcoming it, his Physical Body Saint Dao a complete transformation, reaching an even higher level.

If the opponent truly harbored murderous intent, this attack would not have stopped there. Although Li Hao defeated the Buddha Lord and the Void Saint, and his power was surging, he was not yet confident that he could truly clash with the Supreme Saint.

Li Hao took a deep look at the Cloudmist and suppressed his many thoughts. No matter what, he would find out the reason for the Primal Chaos Saint sooner or later, and he needed to be careful.

At this moment, seeing that the Source Ancestor Primal Chaos Saint was no longer involved, he glanced at the Cloudmist with a meaningful look, and then smiled at Li Hao, saying:

"Congratulations, Haotian, on your ascension to the Saintly throne! The Lands of the Saints will welcome a new Saint. From this day forward, I will proclaim this to Heavenly Realms!"

Li Hao nodded. This was routine; when Sage rises, Heavenly General famous.

But knowing and remembering are two different things.

However, he made his name in the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle, Heavenly Realms will remember him.

If it were any other Sage, when proclaiming to the Heavenly Realms, they would need to hold Saint Dao Discussion Assembly so that the Heavenly Realms would remember them and accept their Incense.

Sage no longer cultivate the Sacred Dao in Seclusion, but rather discuss the Dao with each other. This discussion is akin to Warrior Sparring. It may seem calm, but in reality, it is ever-changing and extremely dangerous. One wrong move and the Sacred Dao can perish!

The Law Saint glanced coldly at Li Hao, his displeasure evident in his eyes, but he said nothing more.

"Do you still want to participate in this Supreme Heaven Pride Battle?"

Source Ancestor looked at Li Hao and asked.

These words also attracted the attention of many Saint Child and Saint Daughter in the waiting area. To Sparring with Sage on the same stage? Even if you lose, it would be a glorious thing to tell your ancestors.

"Nature."

Li Hao said, "I can give them the title of first place, but I want the Incense and the Heaven and Earth Treasures!"

He spoke directly, but Source Ancestor smiled, having anticipated Li Hao's answer:

"That makes sense. Now that you've ascended to sainthood, there's no need for you to wait in the waiting area anymore. It'll save those little brats from Carefree State. Grant me a seat in the Saint Domain!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the spot where the Buddha Lord had been standing.

The Buddha Lord led Buddhist Sect disciples in a defeated escape, and the Void that had been invited was cleared away.

Seeing this, Li Hao didn't stand on ceremony. He nodded slightly to the Source Ancestor and then turned around and went to the high sky.

He sat there without concealing his Aura. Now, with the World Stone reflecting his presence and Heavenly Realms watching, there was no need for him to hide any longer.

His Aura flowed naturally, surrounded by the Great Dao, and extraordinary phenomena appeared.

The phenomena previously displayed by the Buddhist Sect were crimson golden Buddha Light and Void flowers blooming in the void. However, when Li Hao Physical Body Sainthood, the phenomena around him were those presented by various Body-Tempering Art, such as the Immovable Wisdom King, the Flood Dragon Body, and the Supreme Body.

These strange phenomena, surrounding him like Gods and Devils, made the young man sitting in the center appear exceptionally noble, like the lord of Gods and Devils, a magnificent True God!

Seeing this scene, countless people's eyes shone with light, and many secretly decided that when they returned to their own Small World Divine Dynasty, they would erect Sculpture this Saint Haotian, build a golden temple, and offer Incense to him!

Offering Incense will also bring the blessings of the Sage.

Seeing the natural aura that Li Hao exuded, many Sage narrowed their eyes slightly. They knew that this young man had not only become a saint in one leap, but also had a status comparable to the Three Tribulations Saint, second only to the Supreme Saint. He had a place in Heavenly Realms!

In the waiting area, Qiu Tianlv, Xiao Tianyu, and the others had complicated expressions. That young man had surpassed their previous lives in one leap. Even if they were Reincarnated Body now, or even if they had regained their previous lives' power, they would not be able to match him.

In all the previous editions of the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle, this is the first time someone has jumped from the contestants' area to the Sage's Battle Stage halfway through the competition, looking down on everything from a high vantage point.

Ji Xuanshen, Lin Qingying, and the others were all excited. They never expected that Li Hao could actually resolve this terrible calamity, break free from the joint trap set by two Three Tribulations Saints, and even block the attack from the Supreme Saint.

The young man, sitting calmly, seemed to have endured a tribulation of Thunderfire, exuding a sacred aura that was impossible to look directly at.

Bian Ruxue's eyes glazed over at the sight. Everything had changed so quickly, and her emotions had fluctuated several times. Earlier, when she saw Li Hao kill the Saint Child Xu Yuan, she was anxious and couldn't help but blame him for being too barbaric. But now, Li Hao had overcome all kinds of tribulations, become Sage, and transcended the mortal world, stepping into the highest order and even surpassing her Master.

According to her Master, she would need to go through several lifetimes to cultivate to that level.

It is difficult to become Sage; one cannot ascend to the heavens in one step. Yet, Li Hao has truly ascended to the heavens in one step.

Other Sage, in order to avoid the Three Calamities Tribulation, may even reincarnate to accumulate power.

Reaching the level of Three Tribulations Saint is extremely difficult. Even the Prodigy in the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle need to spend an extremely long time to achieve it, possibly even through several Reincarnation. If they are not careful, they may be trapped in the Reincarnation for ten or a hundred lifetimes!

"He became a saint..."

Bian Ruxue stared blankly, unable to comprehend how the child in the Courtyard more than twenty years ago had now become Sage in the Heaven and Earth!

"Uncle, did you know? Brother Hao has become a saint..."

Bian Ruxue murmured to herself. Only after arriving at the Lands of the Saints did she realize how radiant and dazzling the Sage were. But right now, all that endless glory was on that young man.

The Ultimate Sword she sought seemed to be in the hands of her opponent.

The previous ultimate sword shadow was beyond the mortal world and did not appear in the world, yet the opponent casually unleashed it.

The mountain he had climbed, the view from the Mountain Summit was... well, let's just say it was him.

That scenery had always been by her side.

She stepped into the Sword Hermitage, pursued the Sword Dao, became a disciple of the Sword Saint, and experienced everything. In the end, when she looked up, she saw the figure left behind, who never looked back, sitting peacefully at the summit.

Bian Ruxue bit her lip until it bled, and strands of blood oozed from her lips. The slightly sweet and bitter blood was nothing compared to the emptiness and bewilderment in her heart, and an indescribable pain.

She suddenly remembered that when she was a child practicing swordsmanship, she was bitten by mosquitoes, and it was the other person who drove away the mosquitoes for her.

He never practiced swordsmanship, but when he did, Wenrou smile would always appear in the child's bright eyes, as if it were an expression of appreciation or praise.

So she was extra motivated to practice swordsmanship. She wanted to repay the kindness of being fostered with the sword in her hand, and also wanted to retaliate against the adults' gazes. With the sword in her hand, she wanted to defend him and cut through all the storms for him.

But somehow, these original aspirations and thoughts were forgotten.

Bian Ruxue's eyes suddenly welled up with tears. She suddenly realized that the kindness she wanted to repay had never been repaid.

She never shielded him from the wind and snow he endured.

She even became a part of the wind and snow.

"My Sword Dao is too ruthless..."

Bian Ruxue looked down at the Side Sword in her hand, and crystal tears slid down her fair and delicate face.

Meanwhile, as Li Hao ascended to the rank of Saint, the Source Ancestor signaled to the Sage in charge of the tournament that the Heaven Pride Battle should continue.

The Battle Stage was repaired, and the Magic Array was re-formed. The other contestants recovered from the battle Sage and took to the platform one after another.

However, after the great battle of the Sage, the battles between these Heavenly Prodigy, though fierce, were no longer enough to elicit gasps from the crowd, just like a grand feast that had ended and only some desserts remained.

Although Li Hao was also ranked, his opponent wisely conceded defeat.

With the Top Ten list released, Li Hao naturally deserved to be among them. However, compared to his own ranking, Li Hao was more concerned about the rankings of Ji Xuanshen and the others.

Unfortunately, Ji Xuanshen and the other Ji Family Prodigy all failed to make it into the Top Ten. Red Light made it into the Top Ten, while Lin Shuhai seemed to have bad luck and failed to make it into the Top Ten.

Lin Qingying was also ranked outside the Top Ten, but she had more wins and was ranked in the Top Twenty.

Lin Qingying was very satisfied with her ranking. When she saw Li Hao looking over, she smiled at him.

After the Top Ten are determined, there will be a three-day break before the competition for first place resumes.

However, while the first spot was booked in advance and there was little suspense, the second and third spots were quite controversial.

After the saints dispersed, some of Sage, before leaving, sent telepathic messages to Li Hao, inviting Li Hao to the Sacred Land for tea.

Li Hao exchanged a few pleasantries, knowing that these Sage wanted to invite him to join their Sacred Land to bolster their prestige. However, if he were to Sage Entry, he would only join Old Feng's Thief Heaven Sacred Land.

"Haotian, come with me."

As the event ended, Source Ancestor transmitted his voice to Li Hao.

Li Hao looked at him and vaguely sensed that the other Supreme Saint were also watching him. His eyes flickered, and he vaguely guessed the reason.

He nodded slightly, saw the solemn look in Old Feng's eyes, gave him a reassuring expression, and then got up to leave with the other Supreme Saint.

They arrived at the Origin Sage Grotto-Heaven of the Source Ancestor Sacred Land. Apart from Li Hao, everyone present was Supreme Saint, including the Medicine Saint, the Primal Chaos Saint, the Law Saint, the Mo Family Supreme Saint, and so on.

"Yuan Zhou told me about the attack on your journey. Those Buddha Lord and Void Saint were extremely reckless!"

The Mo Family Supreme Saint spoke to Li Hao.

He appeared to be middle-aged, with a square face, unusual features, and a small mustache.

At this moment, all the Sacred Capital concealed their Aura, and no more strange phenomena were displayed around them.

When Li Hao heard the words of the Mo Family Supreme Saint, he simply smiled. He already knew about this matter, and he hadn't seen the other party speak before. He wondered if it was because the Buddha's oath was too persuasive, or if the other party was unwilling to meddle in other people's business.

The reason we're showing him these goodwill gestures now is mainly because he's already at the table, and secondly, it's because of the reason Source Ancestor invited him over this time.

Upon hearing the words of the Mo Family Supreme Saint, the Law Saint frowned slightly and said:

"Assassination? What assassination?"

"The Buddha Lord and the Void Saint intercepted Haotian halfway through, preventing him from participating in the competition."

The Mo Family Supreme Saint said.

The Law Saint Master's expression changed slightly, and anger flashed in his eyes. "This is utter nonsense!"

As he spoke, without even looking at Li Hao, he said with a stern face, "These days I've been contemplating the Heavenly Dao and haven't paid attention to these things, and they've become increasingly lawless!"

Upon hearing the words of the Law Saint, Li Hao made no comment. He knew that this was the Law Saint's Sacred Dao. If he saw someone breaking the law, it would be tantamount to challenging his Sacred Dao, and he would definitely take action. It had nothing to do with him; it was purely to defend his own Sacred Dao.

However, the fact that the Mo Family Supreme Saint said this was tantamount to telling the Law Saint that if he was unaware of it, it would be fine, but if he was aware of it, then it must be dealt with.

However, the Law Saint was acting in accordance with the law, which did not achieve the effect Li Hao wanted. He would take revenge for his own grudge personally.

The other Sage all looked at Li Hao, surprised that this young man had gone through such hardships on his way here. Compared to the other Saint Child came to participate in the competition and were protected by their Master's Sect and could focus on the competition, he had to guard against assassination attempts by Sage.

However, they were not surprised by the actions of the Buddha Lord and the Void Saint. If they were in their shoes, they would also eliminate such Prodigy as soon as possible.

Once they cultivate to the level of Supreme Saint, almost nothing can shake their position, so they are no longer tainted by such worldly dust.

The saying goes that wealth fosters a good conscience. Only when one is wealthy can one be tolerant. The poor, suffering from hunger and cold, live a life of hardship and have no means to give alms to others.

Source Ancestor looked at Li Hao and smiled, "The matter between the Buddhist Sect and the Void Saint will be settled in time. I've called you here today to talk to you about the Sixth Extreme Realm."

Li Hao Heart Dao, "As expected," and nodded, "Source Ancestor, please speak."

Seeing Li Hao's expression, the Source Ancestor knew that there was no need to go into the preamble. He smiled and said, "It seems you also know that secret. It's not exactly top secret. The Supreme Heaven Pride Battle was established for this very reason."

When the Source Ancestor brought up serious matters, the eyes of all the Supreme Saint flickered slightly as they gazed intently at Li Hao.

If there's anything else that could make them change color or be moved, it's only one thing: transcending the Sacred Dao and reaching the legendary Eternal Immortal God Realm!

Even Sage experience decline and cannot truly live as long as Heaven and Earth and earth.

"The Lands of the Saints once bore traces of Immortal Deity, but they later vanished. When I cultivated to become an Immortal Deity, I sought the Immortal Road, but Immortal Road severed. Although this realm is rich in power, it is sealed off like a closed egg. The beings in this realm will eventually slowly perish, until it becomes a dead realm!"

The Source Ancestor said, "When the Heaven and Earth declines greatly, this realm will also come to an end. That day will not be long. We have been searching for a way out, and finally we have found one."

"A great decline in the Heaven and Earth?"

Li Hao was slightly taken aback upon hearing his words.

"That's right. The sun, Sun, Moon, and Stars will all decay, and so will this Heaven and Earth. Once you've survived the Heavenly Tribulation, you'll sense it; the Heaven and Earth is slowly decaying," said the Source Ancestor.

Li Hao understood. This was similar to the extinction of Xingchen. Even a star in the universe will eventually run out of energy; it was the same principle.

"We have discovered an Ancient Hall containing paths to Immortal Deity, but it requires the full potential of the Extreme Realm to open. Therefore, we need your help."

Source Ancestor said to Li Hao.

Li Hao knew that the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle was a path to advancement for all the Prodigy in Heavenly Realms Dragon Gate, but for the supreme beings, it was merely a way to find a key in the ocean.

Now, the key has been found.

"Okay, but I hope I can bring some other friends along."

Li Hao said.

He knew that even if he became a saint, he would have no power to resist such things and could only submit. Fortunately, compared to the Dao Law Realm where he was previously at the mercy of others, he now had the right to negotiate.

Seeing that Li Hao agreed, Source Ancestor was not surprised and nodded, saying:

"That's for sure. No All Heavens Saints would miss such a grand event. However, the Ancient Hall is in a dangerous environment and is currently shrouded in Tribulation Clouds. According to calculations, the best time for us to enter will be in three years when the Tribulation Clouds dissipate."

"OK."

Li Hao's eyes flashed, and he readily agreed.

Three years—that's exactly what he needed, and these three years are just right.

Besides, he didn't know much about that mysterious Ancient Hall, so this was a good opportunity to gather more Intelligence and avoid being used as a pawn.

"Since you agree, let's set a date for three years from now, when everyone will gather in the Heaven Origin Realm."

Source Ancestor chuckled, "Then we'll explore the Ancient Hall together and embark on the Path to Immortal Deities."

The other Supreme Saint also wore smiles, even the Law Saint, whose expression remained solemn, had a glimmer of light in his eyes.

"Haotian, how did you cultivate to the Sixth Extreme Realm? Could you tell us the process?"

At this moment, the Yin Yang Supreme Saint suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing his words, the other Supreme Saint also turned their gazes to Li Hao.

Li Hao suddenly felt as if he were being watched by a pack of wolves, and the Sacred Dao within his body involuntarily began to circulate. His expression, however, remained calm as he said:

"It was purely by fortuitous opportunity. I call this Extreme Realm 'Immortal Transformation,' which requires comprehending the Heaven and Earth and seeking the common ground among Heaven and Earth All Things in it."

He knew that if he didn't say something, it would be difficult to dispel these prying eyes, so he threw the question at them and let them figure it out themselves.

Whether one can grasp it or not depends on their own abilities.

But Li Hao knew that the more eager he was, the harder it would be to succeed.

Three years later, when they explore the Path to Immortality, they will need the power of the Immortal Transformation Extreme Realm. Most of these Supreme Saints would like to control it themselves, rather than rely on Li Hao and be controlled by others. Li Hao can understand this.

But sharing it for free is absolutely impossible.

"What is the common ground of All Things in Heaven and Earth and earth?"

The Yin Yang Supreme Saint pressed for answers.

Li Hao frowned, a cold smile playing on his lips, but his expression remained calm as he said, "You are all Supreme Saint, each with your own understanding of all All Things. In the eyes of the Buddhist Sect, a flower is not a flower, a leaf is not a leaf; in the eyes of the Thief Sect, all All Things are fleeting clouds, things that can be taken or discarded. The commonalities of All Things in the Heaven and Earth are perceived differently by each person; it all depends on your own understanding."

The Yin Yang Supreme Saint fell into thought, his brows furrowed, and he stared at Li Hao for a moment.

He knew Li Hao wouldn't say this easily, but there was nothing wrong with what he said.

The other Supreme Saint exchanged glances but said nothing more. They had been studying the Sixth Extreme Realm for many years and had long realized that this Sixth Extreme Realm required one to glimpse the truth of Heaven and Earth and reach the pinnacle of the Heaven and Man Realm.

The pinnacle of the Heaven and Man Realm is to comprehend All Things in Heaven and Earth and earth. Therefore, they all knew the answer to the question Li Hao raised.

They explored and learned along their own paths, but the answers they came up with were not correct.

"Heaven and Earth and Reincarnation, All Things undergo vicissitudes; friends, find the answer yourselves."

Source Ancestor spoke, his words carried a deeper meaning, causing many Supreme Saints to abandon certain improper thoughts.

Li Hao understood the advice given to the Supreme Saint in the Source Ancestor's words, and his eyes flickered. Sure enough, one had to be careful when dealing with these Supreme Saints. After all, they had all cultivated to the highest realm and were fearless beings. If they were to harbor evil intentions, it would be difficult to restrain them unless other Supreme Saint intervened.

Thinking of this, Li Hao felt that he must get through the Three Calamities as soon as possible within the next three years.

We'll see then how to reach this Supreme Saint path.

Following the three-year agreement, all the Supreme Saint and Li Hao Bieli the Source Ancestor's Cave Mansion.

When Li Hao returned to the courtyard, news came from the Source Ancestor Sacred Land that they wanted to arrange a place for him to reside in as Sage, but Li Hao refused. He would stay a few more days until the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle ended, and then he would leave, so there was no need to change places.

Outside the Small Courtyard, Li Hao saw Old Feng, and his mood immediately brightened. He smiled broadly and said:

"Old Feng, why are you waiting for me here? Won't you come in and have a seat?"

"We've been waiting for you. Hope the Supreme Saint haven't given you any trouble."

Feng Boping smiled, his eyes filled with affection and wistfulness. That boy from the Mortal World had now fully grown up and could stand on equal footing with him.

Although Li Hao was only One-Calamity Saint, his combat power was extraordinary. Even the Three Calamities might not be his match. He was second only to the Supreme Saint, which can be described as a meteoric rise to the top.

"No, they were just talking about the Ancient Hall, and that we'll be going there to seek the Immortal Road in three years."

Li Hao invited Old Feng into the courtyard, casually released Saint Dao Barrier to envelop him, and told Old Feng about the matter.

Feng Boping nodded slightly. "I expected you to be here for this. Among All Heavens Saints, only you have mastered the Sixth Extreme Realm. At that time, you will be needed to break through the barrier of that Ancient Hall. However, at that time, I wonder how many Sacred Dao will fall on this Path to Immortality to immortality, their bones buried..."

At this point, his gaze turned somber.

That path involves Immortal Deity; it's hard to say whether they will peacefully join hands or fight each other.

"Will Old Feng be going then?"

Li Hao asked.

Feng Boping glanced at Li Hao. Originally, he planned to wait until Li Hao had grown up before seeking revenge, but now that Li Hao had become a saint, he had no more worries. He smiled and said:

"I won't go. Three years... it's short, it's long. We'll see when the time comes."

He then changed the subject, asking, "Now that you have become a saint, do you intend to establish your own Sacred Land, or join another Sacred Land?"

Seeing his question, Li Hao knew he was trying to win him over, and smiled, "I have no relatives or friends, and my Sacred Land is empty. If Old Feng's Thief Heaven Sacred Land is still short of people, I will follow Old Feng."

Feng Boping's eyes shifted slightly. The words "no relatives or friends" made him pause for a moment, then he said, "The Thief Heaven Sacred Land... If you don't mind, I hope that if those little fellows from the Thief Heaven Sacred Land have nowhere to go in the future, you can stay and protect them."

"Um?"

Li Hao was surprised. What did that mean?

Seeing Li Hao's surprised expression, Feng Boping stopped talking and smiled:

"In my opinion, you should build your own Sacred Land. Choose a Small World with a good environment. Although building your own Sacred Land will inevitably lead to it being squeezed out by the Sacred Land of other Small World, this is a process that always happens. All Things compete with each other, and so does Heaven and Earth. Flower stamens compete for pollen, Falling Leaves compete for wind. Cultivation in the Heaven and Earth is going against the current, so one can only compete. Even Sage cannot escape it."

Li Hao remained silent for a moment. Should he argue?

This struggle is a contest, and where there is struggle, there will be fighting.

Sage contend with each other, Sage even fight among themselves.

Maybe.

Li Hao said in a low voice.

Heaven and Earth Have Flaws, and where there is flaw, there will be a struggle to achieve perfection.

But is there truly such a thing as perfection?

Nothing is perfect.

If nothing is perfect, then what is the point of fighting?

Time flies, and three days have Past the blink of an eye.

The Supreme Heaven Pride Battle has reached its most intense moment, with the Top Ten vying for first place.

But this year's competition was different from previous years. The first place was a foregone conclusion. When Li Hao appeared and sat high in the sky, many people couldn't help but sigh that this situation was truly unprecedented.

That young man repeatedly Breaking Convention and created legends, becoming the most dazzling Xingchen of his time.

As Qiu Tianlv, Xiao Tianyu, and the Top Ten arrived one after another, they couldn't help but look at Li Hao, who was sitting high in the sky, their eyes subtly changing.

The first item belongs to the other party, and the Incense and Heaven and Earth Treasures naturally also fall into their hands.

Without such a reward, the empty competition for second and third place would be rather dull for them.

Despite the subdued atmosphere, the Heaven Pride Battle proceeded as scheduled.

As time passed, the most intense clash was undoubtedly the duel between Qiu Tianlv and Xiao Tianyu. Both revealed their Extreme Realm and unleashed their Sacred Dao power, reflecting the power of their past lives and fighting with true intensity. In the end, Xiao Tianyu was slightly better and won second place!

When the final battle began, Li Hao landed on the stage, Xiao Tianyu smiled bitterly, bowing his head in defeat.

As Li Hao stepped onto the stage, the atmosphere in the audience ignited even more. Although everyone knew that Li Hao would not make a move, the cheers grew louder and louder.

Sensing Li Hao's immense popularity, many Sage focused their attention. If Li Hao hadn't taken the path of Path of Sacrifice, his popularity alone would have ensured a steady stream of worshippers, and his Incense would have rapidly increased.

The Source Ancestor personally presented Li Hao with the reward for being Supreme Heavenly Prodigy.

Three Heaven and Earth Treasures, and a stick of Incense for achieving sainthood.

The Incense is sealed within a Golden Body. One only needs to inscribe one's Divine Sense onto the Golden Body obtain the Incense sealed within.

Li Hao put everything away without absorbing it on the spot. If he were still at the Dao Law Realm, he would have chosen to become a saint on the spot, quickly increase his strength, and gain the power to protect himself, but there was no need for that now.

Even though he held the Golden Body aloft, no one dared to covet it. Supreme Saint who were capable of fighting for it didn't lack the Incense.

Many Heavenly Prodigy looked at the Golden Body Incense in Li Hao's hand with envy in their eyes. This was what they had been searching for: an opportunity to become a saint on the spot!

The Supreme Heaven Pride Battle has now come to an end.

All Heavens Saints led their own Heavenly Prodigy on their return journey.

Countless people who came to the Heaven Origin Realm also embarked on their return journey, but they inevitably talked about the various astonishing events that had occurred during their trip.

The Source Ancestor did not announce on the spot that this World's Heaven Pride Battle was the last one. Li Hao knew that the Source Ancestor and the others were focused on exploring the Path to Immortality three years later. If the exploration was successful, they would have no interest in the affairs of the Lands of the Saints. If they were unsuccessful, then the event would continue.

Li Hao, carrying the Supreme Reward, followed Old Feng and the Lie Heaven Saint back to the Thief Heaven Sacred Land in the Small Thousand Realm.

He didn't rush to the Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land to hunt them down. Those were their territories, and with the blessing of the Saint Domain's Incense, they would be even more powerful. Even if he could defeat them, he wouldn't be able to kill them.

There are two ways to kill it. The first is to improve one 'Movement Method and Sword Dao, rely on brute force to suppress it, and then imprison, seal, and refine it with the Sacred Dao.

The second method is to seek them out and engage in Sage discussions with them.

Improving his Movement Method and Swordsmanship will take Li Hao at least one or two years. In contrast, he already has a clue about the Sage' discourse on the Dao.

Having previously Physical Body Sainthood, many long-buried memories have resurfaced, giving him direction in his understanding of the Dao and ensuring his ability to suppress the Buddha Lord and the Void Saint.

But he needed to go back and sort out his thoughts first.

As the many spectators from the Heaven Origin Realm returned to their respective places, Li Hao's reputation spread far and wide throughout the Heavenly Realms worlds.

Time passed.

Three Months after the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle ended, a series of messages were released.

Xiao Tianyu, Personal Disciple the Source Ancestor, achieved enlightenment and became a saint!

The disciple of the Law Saint, Qiu Tianlv, aligns with the Sacred Dao of his previous life and has even crossed the threshold of the Sage's realm.

In addition, the Name School Bai Yuan also broke free from his shackles and returned to his former holy position!

In just a few months, three Sages were born in succession, a news that shocked the Heavenly Realms.

Besides them, the other top ten contestants in the Prodigy Battle have also made considerable progress.

A legend originated from the Cloud Sparrow Pavilion, which possessed Many Emotions.

One Venerable One Three Saints and Seven Absolutes!

They all emerged from this Supreme Heaven Pride Battle.

That one was none other than Lord Haotian.

The three saints are the Heaven and Earth Epoch Saint, the Saint Source Xiao Saint, and the Name Dao Bai Saint has lasted for thousands of years.

The Three Saints have returned to their positions, and one has ascended to the top!

The Seven Absolutes represent the pinnacle below the seven Sages, all of whom have reached the peak of the Half-Saint, only lacking the Incense needed to become saints!

After each Heaven Pride Battle, decades follow, filled with legends of those who rose to Heaven Pride Battle and performed astonishing feats.

This year is no exception; many people are closely following the Intelligence regarding the Top Ten of the Heaven Pride Battle.

Azure Wave Realm, Buddhist Sect Sacred Land site.

Inside a dark room of a Buddhist temple, three figures sat upright.

Seated in the center is the Buddha Lord, to the right is the Green Lantern Buddha, and to the left is a Two-Faced Buddha Child in a dark Kasaya.

The Aura emanating from him now is clearly that Aura Sage, though he has not yet overcome the calamity.

Since Li Hao's great defeat of the Buddha Lord, his Heart Demon have taken root to the extreme, and he suddenly has an epiphany. He forcefully seeks to Buddha-Demon Unity, and therefore wants to sever the demon. However, the demon cannot be severed now, so he embarks on another path.

Sever your Buddha-nature!

From that moment on, he completely fell into the demonic path and is now a Demon Lord.

At this moment, despite being filled with demonic energy, he was still wearing Kasaya and sharing a room with the Buddha Lord and the Green Lantern Buddha.

"In six months, it will be the Saint Dao Discussion Assembly, where All Heavens Saints will gather. This will be the last chance to kill this brat!"

The Buddha Lord opened his eyes and spoke slowly in Whispers.

The Saint Dao Discussion Assembly was an extremely grand event, a magnificent gathering for All Heavens Saints to exchange ideas and Sparring.

The Supreme Heaven Pride Battle is held as scheduled after each session. All Heavens Saints can verify each other's Sacred Dao, exchange ideas, and resolve any personal grudges or grievances at this Dao Discussion Assembly to avoid harming innocent people when Sage clash.

At this grand event, the Supreme Saint will also personally preach, making it even more solemn than the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle.

The Supreme Heaven Pride Battle only attracts the attention of countless Heavenly Prodigy, while the Saint Dao Discussion Assembly draws swarms of Half-Saint from all over the Heavenly Realms.

Sage expound their doctrines, and they listen. If they can gain insight from this, they can use it to refine the Saint Dao Seed. With the addition of Incense, they can leap into sainthood.

"The path he followed was the Physical Body Sainthood of the Primal Chaos Saint, making him extremely difficult to kill through brute force. Even saints would need to use their True Power. The only drawback was his Sacred Dao!"

"First destroy its Sacred Dao, then its physical body will crumble without a fight!"

The core of Sage lies in the Sacred Dao. If the Sacred Dao is destroyed, the foundation is destroyed, and all other powers will diminish.

Upon hearing the Buddha Lord's words, the Green Lantern Buddha fell silent for a moment. He had also heard about what happened in the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle, but he hadn't expected such a shocking turn of events.

In recent days, the Incense at the Buddhist Sect has been extinguished, and the aftereffects of the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle have begun to appear.

However, if Haotian is killed and his Saint Heart is broken during this Saint Dao Discussion Assembly, then everything can be reversed once again.

What is meant by debating principles? It involves mutual argumentation, where the winner is convincing and the loser is left unremarked.

"He had just become a saint and had only experienced one tribulation. His only flaw was in his Sacred Dao. The Primal Chaos Saint's intervention to help him overcome the tribulation seemed like a targeted act, but in reality, it was a secret favor!"

The Green Lantern Buddha had a flicker in his eyes and spoke in Whispers.

The Twin Buddha Child' eyes flashed with cold ruthlessness from time to time as they said, "That Primal Chaos Saint targeted him at every turn, clearly intending to kill him, but now he's letting him undergo tribulation instead. His physical body is comparable to Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon, making him virtually invincible except for Supreme Saint. This is simply a bad thing!"

Previously, when the Buddha Lord went to the Heaven Origin Realm, he did not bring the Buddhist Sect's supreme treasure, the Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon, so he did not have the means to kill Li Hao.

But now that Li Hao has survived this tribulation, even if the Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon is deployed, it will be difficult to kill him.

"You think the Primal Chaos Saint is helping him, but in reality, he's helping himself."

The Green Lantern Buddha, "That Primal Chaos Saint was Great Demon beast from the same era as the Source Ancestor. He cultivated by absorbing endless essence. He transformed his physical body into a saint by taking the path of nourishment. Clearly, he regards Haotian as a great tonic. This act of secretly helping him is to prevent him from perishing at our hands. Once Haotian has overcome the Three Calamities, he will definitely make a move and devour him whole. From then on, he may surpass the Source Ancestor and reach the Supreme Saint sainthood!"

Upon hearing the words of the Green Lantern Buddha, both the Buddha Lord and his Twin Buddha Child were taken aback, never expecting that the Primal Chaos Saint would have such thoughts.

In the Buddhist Sect, the Green Lantern Buddha is the oldest. Although Buddhist Sect is presided over by the Buddha Lord, the Green Lantern Buddha is the most powerful Sage in the Buddhist Sect, and his words carry great persuasive power.

After all, in terms of seniority, the Green Lantern Buddha is only ten thousand years younger Source Ancestor.

As for the Source Ancestor, the most ancient Sage, his methods were numerous and his foundation was so strong that no one dared to easily touch or explore him.

"If it weren't for the concern for the Primal Chaos Saint, I would have personally gone to Haotian returned to the Thief Heaven Sacred Land. Even if he avoided me, the news would still damage his reputation and enhance the prestige of my Buddhist Sect. But if he agrees, the Primal Chaos Saint will not stand idly by."

The Green Lantern Buddha said in a low voice, "At the Dao Discussion Assembly, all the All Heavens Saints are present. Even if that Primal Chaos Saint tries to protect himself and his great elixir, it will be to no avail. The Law Saint will stand in our way; this is our last chance."

The Buddha Lord nodded slightly; he had also considered this point.

"But if he doesn't come..." The Twin Buddha Child frowned, their voice filled with worry.

He knew that the boy was by no means reckless; although he appeared arrogant, he was actually extremely composed.

"If they don't come, we will personally go to the Small Thousand Realm to invite them."

The Buddha Lord's eyes gleamed with a cold light. Even if the other party did not come, their reputation among the Heavenly Realms would be ruined, and the Incense of the Buddhist Sect could be rekindled.

Meanwhile, in the Void Sacred Land...

Since the end of the Heaven Pride Battle, the Void Sacred Land has been sealed off by the Law Saint, and its Incense have ceased.

The entire Void Sacred Land suffered heavy losses, and many disciples chose to leave the Master's Sect.

After all, a thousand-year lockdown was too much of a blow to the Sacred Land, and many disciples who had just become disciples could not bear to waste a thousand years of their lives here.

Today, the Void Sacred Land looks somewhat desolate and bleak.

On the other hand, the Primal Beginning Holy Land was bustling and prosperous. The geniuses within the Heavenly Prodigy, such as Ji Xuanshen and Mingyue Jian, had made a name for themselves in the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle, bringing great fame to the Sacred Land.

"If my Sacred Dao can advance further, Void and touching the River of Time, I will surely defy time and grind that damned little beast to dust!"

Deep within the Void Sacred Land, in a place resembling an altar, the Void Saint, his face grim, gritted his teeth and spoke.

Beside him were two Sages from the Void Sacred Land, one of whom had just survived the Earth Tribulation, while the other was the Master of the Void Saint.

"To transform into the Dao Law Realm cultivator is already the pinnacle; this is not your fault."

At this moment, the old man who looked to be over seventy years old, the Ancestor Xu, spoke slowly.

His eyes are long and narrow with large whites, giving him a deep and sharp look.

Twelve years ago, when the Void Saint killed Li Hao, the Thief Saint came to the Sacred Land to seek revenge, and it was he who personally stepped in and severely injured and repelled him.

"His physical body is already invincible; apart from the Supreme Saint, no one can harm him. And that Primal Chaos Saint's intentions..."

Ancestor Xu narrowed his eyes, a hint of a cold smile appearing on his face. But he couldn't control the actions of the Supreme Saint, so he simply said, "Though his physical body is strong, his path to Sacred Dao is ultimately that of One-Calamity Saint. He has only recently become a saint. At the Dao Discussion Assembly, I will gather all my old friends to take turns debating with him, until his Sacred Dao crumbles!"

"Even if the Primal Chaos Saint can stop us, he can't stop the All Heavens Saints!"

At this point, murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

The Void Dao they cultivate is unlike the Buddhist Sect of feigned compassion, where killing requires the use of other rhetoric to conceal one's murderous intent; they have no need to hide it at all.

Sage views All Things as Straw Dogs; life or death is entirely up to his own thought.

Upon hearing this, the Void Saint's eyes lit up. Earlier, his Primordial Spirit had escaped, and he had almost been reduced to a mere Sacred Dao Rebirth. Fortunately, that kid had just become a Saint and had no experience in killing enemies.

In the Small Thousand Realm.

Inside the Thief Heaven Sacred Land.

Feng Boping looked at Li Hao, who was sitting upright in the Courtyard, surrounded by the Great Dao, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

If he hadn't used the Sacred Dao to seal off the entire courtyard, the Great Dao revealed here would likely have illuminated the entire Small Thousand Realm.

He knew that Li Hao was perfecting the Sacred Dao in his heart, but the commotion was terrifyingly large.

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao..."

Li Hao slowly opened his eyes, and an ancient Daoist Dao Scripture emerged from the depths of his memory, each word clear and distinct.

This was something he had seen in his leisure time in his previous life, deep in his memory, which he thought he had long forgotten. However, after his Physical Body Sainthood, it resurfaced clearly.

However, with Li Hao's current wisdom, he discovered that this Dao Scripture actually contained the ultimate truths of Heaven and Earth. If one could comprehend it, one could directly reach the Heavenly Dao!

With his soft recitation, a wealth of Poetry and Literature experience suddenly appeared before my eyes.
